For PV: need arguments posted here so all can use. Help!

Southern PV is loaded with DDT and PCB's, DDT is known to cause a 10% or more rise in infant deaths due to decreased lactation time in breastfeeding mothers. Low income families that have to fish to sustain themselves have no choice but to expose themselves to larger amounts of DDT than the rest of the population, and would be in a considerable health risk if map 1 or 3 closures pass which would force them into the more polluted southern PV.

The pipe, which is situated within the northern boundary of map 1 concentrates all of the pollution from Palos Verdes Estates into one outfall. The currents immediately carry this pollution directly into the closures proposed by map 3. Walk-throughs after rainfall have shown lifeless tidepools, and the polluted water that collects in a pool under the pipe after the rainfall kills 99% plants within 10 feet of it. As the Santa Monica Baykeepers have confirmed, outfall pipes contain heavy metals, specifically copper, and all marine biologists agree that copper is 100% fatal to the invertebrate microfauna that make up the base of the food chain. Every time that it rains here the base of the food chain has to start again from square one. Heavy metals and some pesticides have been shown to slow the growth rate of fish while adversely affecting their fertility rates, which with map 1 and 3 closures will lead to MPA's with smaller, more sterile fish. Map 2 contains the terranea resort, which already has wells and filtration in place for the cleanest rainwater outfall in the entire southern california area.

Point Dume: need arguments posted here so all can use. Help!

Dume talking points have everything to do with access and safety. Support Prop 2 which leaves Dume Pt open and still meets SAT guidelines for habitat replication as well as the alternative. 1 and 3 strike hard at already rare public access - even consumptives deserve a sliver of opportunity. Putting the line at Little Dume will shut off locally precious access to free divers and surf casters at Westward. And finally, that last bathroom at Westward is an ideal boundary, obvious from the shore and the ocean.

Santa Barbara: need arguments posted here so all can use. Help!

Meets guidelines without imposing the immense socio-economic damage that adding Naples Reef causes

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Malibu need arguments posted here so all can use. Help!
Meets guidelines without taking additional, and necessary ocean habitat prized by all fishing groups
Mediates the economic damage to SPFVs based in the Santa Monica Bay
No need to take the ENTIRE canyon when our plan already meeds guidelines
Provides for a safe haven for divers and kayakers, behind the wind shadow of Pt. Dume
